I think I went back to the catacombs after blight town. Make sure you have a divine weapon. New Londo Ruins is quite tough and the boss is one of the hardest in the game. The area after the spider boss has some horrible bosses as well, best wait until later. If you've got a divine weapon then the catacombs and Giants Tomb shouldn't be too tough.
Well cheers m8, but you just said alot on name locations, which does not tell me a decking thing!
I found that route up alright, but bonfire is not working. Plus that ****er tried to kill me when I went back down. I got a bit down that ghostly place, but then just got to some elevator shaft, which I can't use, some locked gate on side too. So I just gone back up and went to that smith where gate opened.
I got one of those green titanite yokes and ca make a divine weapon. Dunno if I want to make my trusty balder side sword +5 a divine weapon. I am afraid it I'll **** it up... It's the only weapon Use and don't have back up! I am mainly dex amd endurance built.
Btw some weird head was at that starting area!!! I legged it as I had 11k souls as I was not chancing it, it's dark flipping souls after all, even farra can kill ya here...0 -

I'd turn a crappy weapon you don't mean to use into a divine weapon and head to the catacombs then. You'll only need it for that section of the game really. You can do it without a divine weapon, I did, but it's a lot harder. It's behind firelink shrine where the skellies are.

Killing the necromancers works but it's a chore and you usually kill one necromancer before being swamped by skellies. At least they stay down once you kill them and only the skellies respawn and can't be resurrected.

The underground section after the spider boss leads to the second bell, well worth going down there and ringing it since it opens the way to Sen's Fortress near the blacksmith. There's also a covenant hidden there and it leads to another very tough area.
As for Valley of the Drakes, there's no point going there except to kill the big undead dragon, you'll find an easier way to get the loot where the blue dragons are later.

Think you buy the key form the blacksmith for the door, costs a bomb and that place is quite high level. A tip for you is there's a secret wall beside it that leads to a bonfire if you've not found it already.
I'd go to Sen's Fortress or the Catacombs first.

Well ill go to fortress. Really want some change from all that underground stuff.
I just wonder how much of ge I have completed? I am level 43 with just both bells done.
The 20000 souls is worth it, as the area opened is brilliant for farming and you can gain back the 20000 in around 10 minutes if you know what you are doing.
I never go to the catacombs until after Sen's Fortress and Anor Londo, which come after Sen's. It's only good to go to if you want to kindle bonfires to 20 Estus, which isn't necessary until the end of the game.
I would say you have less than half the game completed, maybe around one third.0 -

Cannot kill the four kings as a level 1
Had them down to 10% health twice, but the run down is a pain and slow (if you are going to summon the witch).
All the "cheesy" ways of killing them seem to have been patched out of 1.05 (Crystal shield/iron flesh).
Does anyone know if the game increases the boss difficulty if you attempt them with a summoned player, or is it always easier with a co-op partner ( yes I know finding another level 1/2 who can help might not be easy!)0 -

I find the problem with 4Kings is the approach From took in designing the fight. For all other bosses and enemies a healthy mixture of patience, timing and skill is the recipe for victory.
4Kings on the other hand is a straight up DPS race to pummel him down before you get overwhelmed.
I don't know if the bosses difficulty is increased with each summon. I hear different stories from different people. I would recommend getting as many summons as you can since the increased DPS will most likely outweigh any increase in difficulty.0 -
Hardcore!!!Cannot kill the four kings as a level 1!)
I did see a video of a guy killing the Four Kings at a low level. He'd basically memorized the patterns and had every roll down to the milisecond. The big magic AOE attacks are the real killers though.
Difficulty does not increase with summoned players.Does anyone know if the game increases the boss difficulty if you attempt them with a summoned player, or is it always easier with a co-op partner ( yes I know finding another level 1/2 who can help might not be easy!)0 -

If you were following the story of the game then you gotthe good ending.There's actually quite a lot of story in the game it's just that like with Half-Life 2 and Left 4 Dead as an example it's all told through incidental details that you can easily miss.
Well done on beating it!

Very useful to have the distraction. Probably the best boss fight in the game I have to say. Love the music, the stlye everything.
Definitely the one that gave me the most trouble but yes, by far the best and most challenging in the game. Even when I did beat him with 2 summoned players helping me it was an epic fight.

Got that 20k souls. Was farming those moss giants. Got oiss shield and great sword in process. It's a shame I am dex build.
That area is interesting to say the least! So I will just ask few questions about it:
A) do all mobs respawn there
wtf is holding me back from farming the living bejesus out of them?!?!
Edit: flipping iPhone auto Spelling crap!!!0 -

Almost all the enemies there respawn, the Semi-Invisible Knight can only be killed twice, and there is an archer that can only be killed once, and drops its bow and hat. The people who respawn are the Sorcerer, the Semi-Invisible Thief, the Cleric and the Bandit. Killing all the will harvest 7000 souls each time, the only time you can't kill them is if you join the Forest Hunter Covenant, which you can join if you talk to the Cat in the ruined tower up the top.0 -

In the forest area you can do some serious farming. Head in through the arch down the stairs and do a clockwise loop around the immediate area. Four characters will follow you. Head back to where you entered the area but instead of going up the steps go along to the right of them - right into the corner. The four that are following you will go up the stairs and try to jump down to you - falling off the cliff to their deaths and 7000 souls to you. Rince and repeat as you will!
That's just dirty! I like it 0 -

Get thee to the Giant Blacksmith and get Quelaags Furysword. Excellent mid-level weapon for DEX characters.ShadowHearth wrote: »It's a shame I am dex build.
BTW dont level up too much beyond 45 as it will be harder to summon helpers for the Anor Londo bosses.0
